Dear all,


Just head that my favorite seifuku wearing lesbians are pi$$ing Japanese people off.

They are canceling interviews, yawning, holding hands, blah blah...


Somebody give me the lowdown!
My teachers at work are talking about it and I don't understand...

Japan pushes singers like this EVERY DAY but 2 girls from Russia become popular acting Japanese (but with more kissing).

It's probably because they're not Japanese, just ripping off a Japanese adolescent's wet dream. As if Japan had the monopoly on bland, talentless pap... If Tatu are trying to be controversial, they're failing miserably; the lesbian relationship between Willow and Tara in Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a lot more sultry than those two. And Amber Benson can also sing, unlike Tatu...

Basically being teenage lesbians...

Well they are 3rd and 4th in the Japanese album chart (one special edition, the other normal)

They will be gone in about 6 months...

Tatu. More pap from a mindless money making pop factory.

Where's the good bands these days. They are all so marketed.

I just think it's exploitation over some people's sexuality.

But they are still very nice ;)

Now if they played Megadeth, and could play guitar and stuff and flip out like ninjas in there music videos then that would be cool!

Have you been peeking at some advance plans leaked from one of the top three Record Company multinationals. I think you may be describing the "next big thing"!!

Teenage Lesbian Death Metal Ninjas?

Well, another idea, STOLEN. :mad:

I guess I'll have to proceed with alternate plans: Middle Aged Transgender Samurai Junkies.

They were in Trainspotting, you know? Yeah, those scenes got cut. Somebody forgot the duct tape, and it just wasn't going to work.

People frequently forget that artists never try to sing; they're trying to make money.

I also think that tatu are pushing the "we're gay" thing too much. They should seriously stop it.

I think it will be the next big thing (i hope)

I remember them from a while back, something about sluty concerts. They still look the same which is great for them because as soon as they start looking a bit aged *poof oblivion*.

Decent singing and ok looks do not equal long term careers.

They don't look OK. I'd give them a 4/10...
Also, they are on high-paying short term careers or about three hundred billion rubles per year.... (About three dollars).

Look on Kazaa (lite) for their video clips. Basically, its wedgies and wet teeshirts with some light smoochin. Nothing too 'wild' in my opinion. They styles Techno-Pop, so if youre not into either, its probably not gonna do anything for you, with the lyrics being both commercial yet 'innocent' in meaning.

Personally, I like em, think they're cute. But, I have to agree. Once they age a little more, or the shtick gets old, they are done, unless they can reinvent themselves. Rumblings about this happening have already begun. At a recent 'battle of the bands' type thing in Europe, they lost, and after seeing the video clip, I can see why. It just wasnt 'good'.

Over the last 40-odd years I seem to recall a whole bunch of 'musical artists' that were titillating and supposedly dangerous and popular. Now I can't even remember their names. I predict that in 10 years Tatu will either be forgotten, changed out of all recognition or a punchline. Ho-hum...

Another great product of the UK pop machine...

I don't like pop music, but I have to admit that these two are incredible cute together.


I thought a Tatu was something you got inked on your skin.

Do you know that "tatu" means "armadillo" in Portuguese?

Mike Williams
2nd July 2003, 17:14
Armadillo? Cool! Perhaps I can adopt it as my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu nickname. You know, like Jacare, or Aranha. I could be Mike "Tatu" Williams, and have a picture of the girls snogging on the back of my gi.

:D

Cheers,

Mike

Makes me miss Led Zeppelin all the more. Man, today's music isn't worth crap. Urban youth culture and other junk like that has killed music!

Most of what passes for "music" anymore is extremely forgettable pop garbage shoved out by talentless hacks backed up by technology to make them sound better. I blame the record companies in their endless drive to make money by creating formulatic acts.

This t.a.t.u. thing arrived quite late. The teenage lesbian/bissexual fad has past its climax. The time is gone when that was something indentity-searching teenage girls would pose as to look cool. When it was a fad only in the underground clubs and snobbish academic environments apparently most people were too stupid to notice that it was just pure plain fashion. Being a hype bissexual clubber-punk-intelectual was once the ultimate outfit.

This "fake" bi./les. posture could be perceived almost immediatelly. Mostly because of the tipical teenage necessity to keep it as something original and rebel (although everyone else is doing the same and pushing each other to it). Normal-looking or non alternative-like bi./les. posture was looked down to. I mean, it had to be something to keep them appart from the cheerleader or nerd types.

I wrote a paper about it a couple years ago for the university. It was called something like "Teenage Female Bissexuality as a post-modern phenomena". I went into the research open hearted but could not help coming to the conclusion that in the end the whole attitude was just an outfit in most of the cases. Which happens to be a shame because turns some pople's REAL sexual preference into a sad stereotype. People struggle to have their ways of life respected while others struggle to keep it outcast so they can feel like they're cool and chalenging for wearing it. And make money, why not?! No wonder the worldwide gay community is quite pissed off.

cheers,

Hmmm, haven't most sexual identities already been stereotyped by the media for fun and profit?

I thought Tony would be so transfixed by the image of two girls snogging that he wouldn't notice my cunning linguistic lapse.

Or maybe not. These girls doesn't seem related at all to the clubber-pseudo-intellectual "bisexualism is the future" fad of the past. I think they're a byproduct of hentai manga and Russian/Eastern European pornographic industry. If I am right, they're the beginning of a new fad - expect to see more.

BTW...did Mike say something witty? I was too busy checking out these girls playing carpet laying games....

Chew...Chew...stumble.
